Dedicated Rapha sales thread - yay or nay?

Wanted the input of the forum if this would be a good or bad thing.

Talked with Velocio who had his doubts that it would be kept civil within the thread.

Can we be cevil and hash out some guidelines perhaps?

Let me know your thoughts on this matter.

/P

Why?

Nay

Start a Facebook group

Because fools and their money are easily parted.

What ^^^^ said, why?

Easier to get an overview of what's being sold perhaps.

Might actually already exist, haven't checked.

buying used rapha makes no sense, just buy DHB.

More than enough, for far too much....

No

I thought this was LFGSS, but it seems to be the #EC1Collective forum.

Edgy

Hah! Seems like the jury is in on this. Small one though but still.

Check facebook if you want used Rapha or buy dhb.

Ignore the bedwetters upthread. If there's enough supply and enough demand it'll work and if not, it'll die to the delight of the bedwetters.

Why is it needed any more than a Shimano or, I dunno, Fizik sales thread?

Brand power, good second hand value on each item, of course depending of the condition of the garment.

Rapha has a following of people and is also a brand that attracts people that aren't "In" but lose them the instant they see the hefty price tag.

A cheaper way to step in to the Rapha clan (if there is one)

These are my guesses of course.

Just because the threads haven't been set up, doesn't mean the ones you suggest wouldn't be useful.

nay.

How would a dedicated sales thread simultaneously help retain a "good second hand value" and provide "a cheaper way to step in to the Rapha clan"?

Am I missing something here?

Everything is contradictory!

Rapha ≠ good second hand value
Rapha ≠ a brand that attracts people that aren't "In"
Rapha ≠ lose them the instant they see the hefty price tag
Rapha ≠ A cheaper way

Given you have Supreme logo as avatar, is this satire?

The best 'in' you can have is go to the Archive store.

What if you want to sell other items that aren't Rapha at the same time (which is what most people do) ? Do you have to create two separate sales threads? Can see a lot of cross posting happening.

Bugger, missed out on the Rapha clan, now I'll never be one of the in crowd.

Might be.

Not everyone has an Archive store (forum that has a crowd of scandis and such)

How will this differ from the classifieds?

Stop wasting Velocio's time.
